HAP Dark Matter 2015

Sep 21, 2015, 12:30 PM → Sep 23, 2015, 4:30 PM Europe/Berlin

Lehmann Lecture Hall Geb. 30.22 (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

From Astronomical Observations to Astroparticle Theory - Joint workshop Astroparticle Theory and Dark Universe

This meeting follows our HAP DM 2013 meeting, addressing recent results and developments in Dark Matter search. The workshop will be organised along plenary overview talks by senior scientists, with the additional possibility for young researchers to present their work in short presentations.

The meeting will start Monday, September 21 at 14:00 to allow travelling for most of the participants during Monday morning. It will end not later than 16:00 on Wednesday, September 23.
